Which is completely unreasonable. Do you remember what she complained about them saying? Dongles and forking repos? They were discussing among themselves, it wasn't targeted at anyone, and any reasonable person wouldn't believe it was sexist.
- stale2002 9y agoI agree that donglegate was bullshit. But cases like are few and far between. And IMO the majority of people on the internet were supportive of the guy who got fired, and also thought it was bullshit. The woman who started the whole drama received way worse retaliation from the Internet mob (which was partially deserved) and got fired as well, so it was tit for tat at least, although that of course doesn't fix the damages.
- pluma 9y agoI'm not saying that I'm one of those people. I'm just saying they're generally pretty consistent about these things and they exist.
